Pros:

The staff was incredible, front of house were so friendly and helpful, a special mention to a bar tender Olwethu, who's customer service was above and beyond. Thanks Olwethu 🩷

I took my 3 nephews their, they stayed with me and loved it, super kid friendly and pet friendly. It was a great stay.

Cons:

I had booked for 4, 1 adult and 3 kids and only revieved 2 of everything which i thought odd. I needed to ask for 4 of everything. Aside from that the stay was amazing, staff friendly and kind, from the security to the front desk to the cleaners all very kind and helpful. Just a really nice stay.

Great option for a quiet stay in Cape Town near Table Mountain
Pros:

The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood of the Gardens area. My stay was quite good with respect to the room and its facilities. The room size was a bit of the smaller side but we did have a nice view of the Table Mountain and Lion's Head. The breakfast was decent but kind of repetitive each day. There were plenty of parking spots which was one of the reasons I picked this hotel. If you like Indian or Thai cuisine, there are a couple of nice restaurants just around the corner from the hotel.

Cons:

The housekeeping service seemed to be severely under staffed and slow. My requests for something as basic as coffee sachets took almost 45 mins to be serviced. Additionally, when we checked in the restaurant did not offer a-la-carte dinner quoting Earth Day as an excuse!

Pros:

Beds and bedding really comfortable, view, pool

Cons:

The room had a horrible air freshener smell, was worse when aircon was put on so we had to keep the window open the whole night. Carpet was wet around the air con, and felt grubby.

Decent option for Cape Town stay near Table Mountain
Pros:

The hotel is located in a quiet part of the Gardens area. The room size and facilities were decent. The breakfast was decent as well but kind of repetitive over multiple days. Plenty of parking in the hotel.

Cons:

I had requested for a slightly later check-out but the staff kept asking me to follow-up on it later and finally told me that it will not be possible. The housekeeping folks seem to be overworked and any request took forever to be serviced.
